The Mentalist (2008–2015): Season 1, Episode 1 - Pilot - full transcript
A double murder seems to be the work of a notorious serial killer named Red John, but CBI consultant Patrick Jane thinks it's the work of a copycat.
Excuse me. Can i get a comment, please?
Yes, ma'am, keep it right back here.
Stand back here, please.
- captain.
- agent lisbon.
Don't think we'll be needing you guys.
We like the neighbor
kid who found the body.
Did he confess?
Ah, he's a real squirrel.
Did you kill her?
Mercy's father would like
to give a brief statement.
I just want to take a moment and thank everyone
in law enforcement and all the volunteers
Who helped us in the search
for our beloved daughter.
The way that this entire community
has come together to support me
And juniper in this terrible time
has been a great comfort to us.
And now i would just
like to ask you that...
You give us some time, space and
privacy to grieve for our daughter.
Thank you.
Hello, mrs. Tolliver.
Who are you?
My name is patrick jane.
I'm here to help you.
Would you like a cup of tea?
Yes, i would, thank you.
You must be tired.
Why don't you sit down?
It's nice and quiet in here, isn't it?
Quiet, soothing, calm.
Calm.
I've been watching you and your husband,
And i want you to know that i
understand what you're feeling right now.
You have no idea.
- believe me.
- i do.
I know.
I know, and i wanna help you.
You can't help me.
You... What do you know?
All sorts of things.
You really only pretend
to like skiing, right?
Yes,
but--
You're pleased that your best
friend recently gained some weight--
About 10 pounds.
You wish you'd been more
adventurous when you were younger.
You love india, but
you've never been there.
You have trouble sleeping.
Your favorite color...
Is blue.
I don't understand. You're...
- you're psychic?
- no.
Just paying attention.
I used to make a good living
pretending to be a psychic.
I tell you this because i want you to understand
there's no point hiding things from me.
Hiding... What?
Know what i see when
i look at your husband?
I see a warm, loving, generous man.
A little vain, maybe. Selfish,
controlling-- but a decent man.
Yes.
So why do you suspect him
of murdering your daughter?
I don't.
- the mccluskey boy did it.
- yes.
That's what the police say.
But you think they're wrong. Why?
I don't know. I-i-i
don't know. I...
Tell me.
Last year, they--they have
been so strange with each other.
And neither one would admit that
anything was wrong, and i think that...
I think that she tried to tell
me once, and i didn't--i...
God. Oh, god.
Did you ask him if he killed her?
What would he say?
Most wives can tell when
their husbands are lying.
Yes. Yes.
I... I don't want tea. I--
the mccluskey boy did it. I...
Maybe.
You think he did it, too?
I trust a mother's instinct.
June?
There you are.
Who are you?
I'm the police. Did
you kill your daughter?
How dare you?
I asked you a simple question,
sir. Did you kill your daughter?
No. I did not kill my daughter!
Now you get the hell out of my house!
June?
June, what's the matter with you?
I'm gonna have your badge.
An innocent man would
have punched me by now.
I am gonna make life miserable for you.
You come in here, you accost
my wife, you cause trouble on--
June.
June, honey, please.
Move! Move!
Honestly, it--it's
not as bad as it looks.
Mrs. Tolliver? Mrs.
Tolliver! Please wait.
Front room's clear!

Mentalist Season01 Episode01
{\a6}Palm Springs,California 2 Weeks Later
Then the son of a bitch eagles 17.
Are you kiddin' me?
On that course?
A damn eagle?
That course never suited you, price.
We'll do better in orlando.
We have a nice spot on the draw.
Well, i'll tell you what.
Davis love iii can kiss my butt.
Alison? Alison!
{\a6}Palm Springs International Airport
Flight 233 from sacramento, you may
claim your baggage from carousel 2.
Flight 233 from sacramento...
Uh, sorry.
You checked luggage?
What are you, on vacation?
No, ma'am. Won't do it again.
When your trousseau arrives,
Pick up the second rental and go
direct to the sheriff's department,
Hustle us up a couple of rooms,
furniture and phone lines.
Yes. Ma'am.
Come on. Let's go.
Morning, everybody.
How was your flight?
Go away. You're on suspension.
Thank you.
Mandated leave.
Ends next week.
So come back next week.
Hot enough for you?
Which one of you jackasses told him?
It was you, wasn't it, cho?
Yes, it was.
Of course he called me.
It's red john. You can't
keep me out of this.
Why would you want to?
You got a man killed.
Ppthere's consequences.
Oh, a man that murdered his daughter 'cause
she wouldn't have sex with him anymore?
You didn't know that.
You did not know that.
- if she hadn't had left a
diary-- - but she did, though.
Be reasonable. This is my case.
Your case?
Red john's mine.
Red john doesn't belong to anyone.
He belongs to me.
It's not my call. Rules are rules.
Come back next week.
Don't let this man past.
Boss?
We have gregory tannen--
caucasian, male, 43, single.
We haven't opened him
up yet, but burn marks...
Sorry i went over your head.
I'll redeem myself, i promise.
You want redemption? Be silent.
Okay. I can learn to do that.
Sorry.
The burn marks here indicate that the
victim was subdued with a stun gun--
Standard civilian
model by the look of it.
Death appears to be caused by several
blows to the back of the skull consistent
With a bloodied golf
club found at the scene.
Female is alison randolph--
27, married, no children.
They were found at her listed residence.
T.o.d.looks to be
early saturday evening.
On alison, we have the
same stun gun marks,
Followed by binding with
tight black plastic ligatures,
Frenzied cutting and stabbing assault of the
torso and subsequent abuse of the viscera.
Textbook red john.
Who found the bodies?
This one's husband, coming home from the
airport sunday morning with his brother.
- he's a pro golfer.
- oh, yeah?
Price randolph.
What's her deal with him? Do we know?
Uh, he's on file as
one of her physicians.
- making a house call?
- lovers?
No, this one's gay.
Dr. Wagner might know what
their relationship was.
He's here to make the formal i.d.?
Okay.
Dr. Wagner.
I'm agent teresa lisbon,
california bureau of investigation.
What's your connection to the victims?
I work with gregory...
Dr. Tannen and--and the randolph family
are longtime clients of our practice.
Are house calls the
norm at your practice?
No. Gregory and alison
were close friends.
- lovers?
- no.
He was gay.
No, they were just... Friends.
What in god's name happened to them?
Looks like red john.
Who's red john?
We don't know who did this.
We'll be in touch probably. Thank you.
Set up right here?
Yeah, that's good.
Red john enters here.
Excuse me. Sorry.
He comes around here.
He waits for her, expecting
her to come in alone.
Only thing, her friend tannen chose the wrong night
to come over for a richard gere and ice cream orgy.
So red john zaps 'em both with
his trusty stun gun, and...
Excuse me.
Grabs a 5-iron from
the bag here and... Bam!
Crushes tannen's skull.
Then he takes his sweet time
dealing with alison how he likes.
She's a nice big girl, so
unless he's pretty strong,
I'm guessing that he grabbed
her by the arms and...
{\a6}Today is the.......
He says he's sorry for all the pain
he's caused you and your mother.
{\a6}5 Years Earlier
Deeply sorry.
He asks you to forgive him.
Can you do that, jenny?
He needs to hear it.
I forgive you, daddy.
- oh, yes.
- daddy, i forgive you.
He's smiling now.
They're tears of joy.
He says, "god bless you and keep you."
He's gone.
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
She's... Amazed.
Patrick...
- one second.
- give him some time.
Ab-absolu-- come
on back to us.
- i'm back. Thank you.
- back.
So, patrick, i understand that you're
also sort of a paranormal detective.
Is that right?
I try to help the police when i can.
And--and you're helping them
hunt this scary serial killer.
- what--what's his name?Red
john? - red--red john.
Thar she blows-- classic
red john smiley face.
Drawn in the victims' blood, clockwise
with three fingers of his right hand,
Wearing a rubber kitchen glove.
I'm stoked to finally
see one in the flesh.
This isn't red john.
Right.
Red john thinks of himself
as a showman, an artist.
He has a strong sense of theater.
In all the previous killings,
He made sure that the first thing that
anyone sees is the face on the wall.
You see the face
first, and you know--
You know what's happened,
and you feel dread.
Then and only then do you
see the body of the victim--
Always in that order.
Here it's the opposite.
The first thing you see is the body, and you
have to look around to see the face on the wall.
Doesn't play nearly as well, does it?
Depends on your taste, i suppose.
No, come on. The killer could have
painted on the correct wall here,
But he didn't because he didn't know
better because he isn't red john.
It's interesting.
You know what your
problem is, my friend?
You enjoy your work a little too much.
You're a ghoul.
If you don't get horny reading
"fangoria," i'm britney spears.
I-i resent that.
This is you trying to
redeem yourself, is it?
I'm sorry.
He irks me.
He's irksome.
You don't need me here.
So, yeah, this one
doesn't fit the pattern.
So jane was right. We have a copycat.
Or we have red john trying new things,
or we have red john making a mistake.
We don't know.
We'll work the evidence
until we do know.
Go talk to the husband.
Will do, boss.
What are you waitin' for?
So you might be right about this
case. Might be. Thanks for the insight.
No. Did i say that?
I'm acknowledging the fact that
you might be right, that's all.
I mean, if you wanted to come
back, i couldn't stop you.
Yeah, fine. I'm asking you to come back.
Because.
Because you're useful to the team.
No. No, i won't say
"please." Go screw yourself.
Jackass.
- good morning.
- can i help you?
You must be van pelt.
Pleasure. Patrick jane.
Oh, hi. Good to meet you.
Agent cho said you had left town.
No. Nowhere to go.
Okay.
Do you want that desk
over there or this one?
I mean, that one gets more light.
That one. More light by all means.
Very pleasant addition to
the serious crimes family.
When did you get here?
Stop. I give up.
- stop. Please, stop.
- hey, tag?
Turn off the camera.
- come on, come on, come on, that's enough.
- okay, we're done, we're done.
- you are just awful!
- okay. Go, go, go.
Stop, please. Stop!
I lost a beautiful, precious angel.
Yes, sir. Good-looking woman.
I'm jumping right in if
you don't mind, price.
You missed the tournament
cut on friday, yes?
But you didn't come home until sunday.
What did you do with the
rest of your time in fresno?
I get this.you--you guys
can't catch the real killer,
So you wanna lay this one on me?
No, sir. If we have that
confirmation of where you were,
It lets us exclude you
from the investigation.
I was with a massage therapist.
Name?
It had "lady" in there somewhere.
It'll be on his credit card bill.
There you go.
Pleasure meeting you boys.
We're a full-service private practice.
We deliver primary care,
uh, cosmetic surgery,
Psychotherapy, sports
medicine-- You name it.
What's the african connection?
It's what this place is all about.
Half our profits go to build and staff basic
health clinics in poor african communities.
Ah, here we are.
It's a thin file.
Alison was a healthy young woman.
Psychiatric history?
She didn't have one.
S.t.d.s? Abortions?
Unexplained injuries?
{\a6}PERSONALITY AND DEMANGE
No.
Except for some routine checkups with me,
it's all dr. Tannen-- All aesthetic work.
Did tannen keep a diary?
Our last case was solved
because the victim kept a diary.
Diary? I don't think so.
Getting back to alison randolph...
How was her marriage, do you think?
Happy? Unhappy?
About six months ago, dr.
Tannen asked my advice.
Alison had asked him to get her a year's
supply of birth control pills off the books,
I said sure, do it.
I mean, better us than
some tijuana drugstore.
Why the secrecy?
Price randolph had a
vasectomy, april of '02.
If there's anything else i can do...
I appreciate that.
Actually, there is.
I'm out of sleeping pills.
Can you fix me up?
Anything strong will do.
Sure. Uh, come in for a consultation.
We'll squeeze you in this afternoon.
Oh, no. I-i was hoping
to get something now.
Trying to avoid the chitchat.
I'm sorry.
I wouldn't feel comfortable prescribing
without some sort of "chitchat."
I understand. Uh, no problem.
I'll call you... Maybe.
I like the husband for it.
He hires some hooker he knows
to create an alibi, flies home,
Fillets the spouse, flies back again.
The classic elaborate and clever
but ultimately stupid plan.
Have you looked at his
pga tournament record?
It's not bad. 6 mil career earnings.
Mm-hmm, for coming in second and third.
You put him on the 18th tee
with a big one on the line,
Like night follows day, he'll shank it.
He's a choker.
He doesn't have the nerve to
kill his wife. Didn't do it.
Are you suggesting we drop a prime
suspect because he's never won a major?
Oh, no, no, no. I'm just
making idle conversation.
How'd you do that?
Telekinesis.
He blew on it.
That is another way to do it.
Mr. Jane, i have a question
regarding your previous career path.
Fire away.
When you met with other
psychics-- real psychics--
Could they tell you
were just pretending?
There's no such thing as real psychics.
I beg to differ.
My cousin yolanda is a psychic.
Your cousin is deluded
or dishonest, or both.
Steady.
No, no, he's entitled to his opinion.
He's wrong, though.
- she has power.
- thank you.
She can communicate with the other side.
I've seen her do it myself.
She let you speak with
someone that's gone.
Yes.
Someone that you love
and still miss very much.
Yes.
You wanted her power
to be real, so it was.
No.
You're so sure you're right.
Science don't know everything.
500 years ago, radio
would've seemed like magic.
Exactly.
500 years in the future, it could be totally
normal to communicate with the other side.
The "other side."
Your father's a football coach, yeah?
How'd you know that?
It's obvious from your whole demeanor.
My point is, didn't dad always
say life is like football?
When that final whistle
blows, the game is over. Done.
There is no more. There
is no "other side."
This is it-- lobster and bread
rolls and nautical kitsch.
And then... Nothingness.
You poor, sad man.
The kingdom of god is a real place.
Okay, later tonight, when rigsby asks
you to come back to his hotel room...
Say yes.
Excuse me?
I know. You were planning
on refusing him very curtly.
First week on the job,
you wanna set a tone.
No monkey business. But why not?
Rigsby is an excellent lover, i'm sure.
Tough but fair. Right?
Right.
The kingdom of god is a real place,
mr. Jane, and you have an immortal soul.
Oh, i do so hope you're wrong.
Good night.
- good night.
- later, dude.
This is... Me.
Welcome to the unit, agent van pelt.
Thank you, agent rigsby.
She explodes into action,
reaching up to 60 miles per hour.
She easily outruns her terrifying prey.
Gs, old friend.
It's been a while.
"i hope you are keeping well.
I am thriving and happy.
I HAVE 12 WIVES NOW AND WILL
SOON BEGIN COURTING NUMBER 13."
"why can't you catch me?"
YOU MUST FEEL SO POWERLESS
AND STUPID AND SAD."
"oh, well.ALL THE BEST. Red john."
That sounds like the real deal to me.
Sounds like red john. It's not.
Red john wouldn't risk
capture just to taunt me.
So the real killer's
trying to throw us offtrack?
Cho, find out where price
randolph was a half an hour ago.
Rigsby, i want you to check
the hotel security cameras.
Get those over to forensics.
You okay?
Absolutely.
Get some sleep.
- hello?
- good morning.
You didn't sleep, did you?
I-i'd like to make an appointment
with dr. Wagner, please. It's urgent.
Jane. Patrick jane. Yeah, i'll hold.
Forensics maybe got a break.
The blood on the cloth in the
envelope is alison randolph's.
But they found a hair in there--
doesn't belong to her or tannen.
Guess who it does belong to.
It's yours, tag. Amazing, huh?
Science.
This is insane.
I didn't... I didn't kill alison.
How do you explain your
hair in the envelope?
Either it was a mistake,
or--or i'm being framed.
Who would want to frame you?
We don't want to, if
that's what you're thinking.
He and alison were lovers.
Who would want to frame you, tag?
My brother.
Why would he want to do that?
Alison and i were lovers.
I think you are psychic.
You're just afraid to admit it.
So...
So...
Why is it you can't sleep?
Because i can't get the good
pills without talking to a doctor.
And you don't like talking to doctors.
Meh, you know, they always wanna be the
smartest person in the room, don't they?
When in fact that's me, obviously.
You protect your core
self very fiercely.
What do you think is
the reason for that?
You know, this is exactly
how i imagined it would be.
You gonna ask me about my mother?
Do you want me to ask
you about your mother?
I just wanna sleep.
So what is it that keeps you awake?
What's his name? Red john?
That's right. Red john.
Uh, he's--he's killed at least
eight women that we know of.
Uh, the police asked me to try
and get a psychic fix on him,
To see if i could get a
sense of who this man is.
Uh, how do you do that exactly,
get a psychic fix on someone?
Well, davis, true demonic
evil burns like fire.
It--it burns with a
terrible cold, dark flame.
I force myself to look into that flame,
and i see an image of the evildoer--
In this case, red john.
He's an ugly, tormented little man.
A lonely soul.
Sad, very sad.
"dear mr. Jane, i do not like
to be slandered in the media,
Especially by a dirty
money-grubbing fraud."
"IF YOU ARE A REAL PSYCHIC INSTEAD
OF A DISHONEST LITTLE WORM,"
"YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO OPEN THE DOOR TO SEE
WHAT I'VE DONE TO YOUR LOVELY WIFE AND CHILD."
Mr. Jane? Mr. Jane?
What is it that keeps you awake?
You know, when i was
a boy, we had a farm.
It's a lot of work.
- i was kind of a lazy kid.
- yes?
I'd always be trying to get my little
brother jimmy to do my chores for me.
One day, i promised him a
dollar if he'd cut the firewood.
Well...
He opened up an artery in his leg
on the saw, and he bled to death...
Died...
Doing my chores for me.
You know...
That's almost exactly the same
thing that happened to johnny cash.
Is it really?
That's spooky.
- mr. Randolph,
good-- - cut the crap.
My brother's done nothing.
And you scumbags haven't got the stones to
come after me, so you come after my family.
- that is flat-out persecution.
- price, what did we agree?
Mr. Randolph, rest assured,
there's no intent to persecute you.
We scumbags are holding your brother
Because we have physical evidence linking
him to the crime and potential motive in that
He states that whenever you weren't around,
he was banging your wife like a big bass drum.
Tag and alison?
That's what he states, And he further
states that it was you that killed alison,
- and you're now trying to frame him in revenge.
- what'd you say?
Wh--bastard!
You--
- son of a bitch!
- you treated her like trash!
What did you expect?
I didn't expect my little
brother to be banging my wife!
You little punk bastard!
Everything you've told me
is total fiction, isn't it?
Yes.
Why?
I can tell you're in real pain.
Why not tell the truth?
The truth is mine.
- i hear ya.
- thank you.
Yes.
Remember, uh, we were talking
about tannen the other day,
And i asked you if he kept
a diary, and you said he did?
- well, there's no diary among his effects.
- no.
I'm sorry, no?
No. You have it wrong. I-i
didn't think he kept a diary.
Strange.
Then it must have been
someone else who told me.
Either that or i'm going mad.
But i definitely, 100% remember
hearing that tannen kept a diary.
Well, that is strange, but why
does it matter if he kept a diary?
You're right. It doesn't matter.
Only i was thinking, why do magicians
have beautiful girl assistants?
Why?
Because they're reliable
distracters of attention.
People will look at a
beautiful girl for a long time
Before they look where they should be looking
if they wanna see how the trick really works.
Anyhow, i'll send over a couple of forensics guys
tomorrow to search his office and locate that diary.
Mm, didn't they already
search his office?
Oh, they never do it
thoroughly the first time.
Once more for luck, eh? It's
gotta be there somewhere.
Thanks for everything, doc.
- good night.
- good night.
Lost something?
How did you get in?
Door was open.
I think i left my phone in your office.
The door wasn't open.
Must have been. Here i am.
What are you doing?
I confess, the temptation to play
detective was a little too strong. I...
I was looking for that diary.
I got a little carried away.
No kidding.
No diary?
No diary.
Maybe i should have a gander.
I'm good at finding things.
Be my guest.
Eureka.
Dr. Wagner, thanks for your help.
Mr. Jane.
Uh, your phone.
Right.
Thanks.
Uh, yeah. Got it.
Silly of me.
- well, good-bye
again. - wait.
Give me the diary.
It's very amusing.
I try.
I knew.
I knew it might be a trick, but i...
I had to be sure.
Yes. That's how the trick works.
What led you to me?
Not that i'm saying i
did it. I'm just asking.
When we first met, you said you
didn't know who red john was,
But you have books on
criminal psychiatry--there--
That have chapters on him.
You're the randolph family doctor, so you
could easily get a strand of tag's hair,
And, being a doctor, you could hack
up another human without difficulty.
It's obvious it was you.
That's it?
You have nothing.
That's just guesswork.
Oh, i know.
I just wanted to be sure
i had the right answer.
I was surprised. I gotta be honest.
You don't seem to be a wicked man.
But you are.
You're angry about the letter.
Yeah, it was a bit mean-spirited.
For the record, i'm
sorry about your family.
I can only imagine your pain.
I'm not... A wicked man.
My conscience is clear.
Really?
Right now in africa, there's 3,000
beautiful children alive today
Who should be dead, but
they aren't because of me.
Tannen was gonna ruin me
and destroy all that work...
Over nothing. Money.
Theft, he called it.
Embezzlement.
Self-righteous idiot.
It's simple math.
If i go to jail,
thousands of kids will die.
So i made a rational, moral
decision to kill tannen...
For the greater good.
And alison? What did she do wrong?
As you said, she was the magician's
assistant, just a distraction.
If only tannen died, the police would've
been all over this place, wouldn't they?
Truly, is killing two any worse than
killing one, when so many lives are at stake?
I don't think so.
You poor, sad man. You're under arrest.
- let's go.
- i'm pointing a gun at you.
You really think i would set you up so
nicely and let you pull a loaded gun on me?
I took the bullets out earlier.
- you're late!
- what?
Draw your weapon!
Drop the gun!
Hands on your head.
Get down on your knees. Down.
Closed case doughnuts are here.
I just went to get sleeping
pills, i swear to god.
I-i didn't even wanna go.
- you know i didn't want to go.
- right.
Yeah, you didn't set wagner up...
Didn't figure it was him days ago.
You didn't let us tear apart the victim's family
simply to satisfy your childish need for drama.
Meh, that family was screwed anyway.
Don't blame yourselves, guys.
Don't even start.
I'm still angry.
- i'm sorry.
- no, you're not.
A frog? Well, this makes
everything better, doesn't it?

like to ask you that...
You give us some time, space and
privacy to grieve for our daughter.
Thank you.
Hello, mrs. Tolliver.
Who are you?
My name is patrick jane.
I'm here to help you.
Would you like a cup of tea?
Yes, i would, thank you.
You must be tired.
Why don't you sit down?
It's nice and quiet in here, isn't it?
Quiet, soothing, calm.
Calm.
I've been watching you and your husband,
And i want you to know that i
understand what you're feeling right now.
You have no idea.
- believe me.
- i do.
I know.
I know, and i wanna help you.
You can't help me.
You... What do you know?
All sorts of things.
You really only pretend
to like skiing, right?
Yes,
but--
You're pleased that your best
friend recently gained some weight--
About 10 pounds.
You wish you'd been more
adventurous when you were younger.
You love india, but
you've never been there.
You have trouble sleeping.
Your favorite color...
Is blue.
I don't understand. You're...
- you're psychic?
- no.
Just paying attention.
I used to make a good living
pretending to be a psychic.
I tell you this because i want you to understand
there's no point hiding things from me.
Hiding... What?
Know what i see when
i look at your husband?
I see a warm, loving, generous man.
A little vain, maybe. Selfish,
controlling-- but a decent man.
Yes.
So why do you suspect him
of murdering your daughter?
I don't.
- the mccluskey boy did it.
- yes.
That's what the police say.
But you think they're wrong. Why?
I don't know. I-i-i
don't know. I...
Tell me.
Last year, they--they have
been so strange with each other.
And neither one would admit that
anything was wrong, and i think that...
I think that she tried to tell
me once, and i didn't--i...
God. Oh, god.
Did you ask him if he killed her?
What would he say?
Most wives can tell when
their husbands are lying.
Yes. Yes.
I... I don't want tea. I--
the mccluskey boy did it. I...
Maybe.
You think he did it, too?
I trust a mother's instinct.
June?
There you are.
Who are you?
I'm the police. Did
you kill your daughter?
How dare you?
I asked you a simple question,
sir. Did you kill your daughter?
No. I did not kill my daughter!
Now you get the hell out of my house!
June?
June, what's the matter with you?
I'm gonna have your badge.
An innocent man would
have punched me by now.
I am gonna make life miserable for you.
You come in here, you accost
my wife, you cause trouble on--
June.
June, honey, please.
Move! Move!
Honestly, it--it's
not as bad as it looks.
Mrs. Tolliver? Mrs.
Tolliver! Please wait.
Front room's clear!

Mentalist Season01 Episode01
{\a6}Palm Springs,California 2 Weeks Later
Then the son of a bitch eagles 17.
Are you kiddin' me?
On that course?
A damn eagle?
That course never suited you, price.
We'll do better in orlando.
We have a nice spot on the draw.
Well, i'll tell you what.
Davis love iii can kiss my butt.
Alison? Alison!
{\a6}Palm Springs International Airport
Flight 233 from sacramento, you may
claim your baggage from carousel 2.
Flight 233 from sacramento...
Uh, sorry.
You checked luggage?
What are you, on vacation?
No, ma'am. Won't do it again.
When your trousseau arrives,
Pick up the second rental and go
direct to the sheriff's department,
Hustle us up a couple of rooms,
furniture and phone lines.
Yes. Ma'am.
Come on. Let's go.
Morning, everybody.
How was your flight?
Go away. You're on suspension.
Thank you.
Mandated leave.
Ends next week.
So come back next week.
Hot enough for you?
Which one of you jackasses told him?
It was you, wasn't it, cho?
Yes, it was.
Of course he called me.
It's red john. You can't
keep me out of this.
Why would you want to?
You got a man killed.
Ppthere's consequences.
Oh, a man that murdered his daughter 'cause
she wouldn't have sex with him anymore?
You didn't know that.
You did not know that.
- if she hadn't had left a
diary-- - but she did, though.
Be reasonable. This is my case.
Your case?
Red john's mine.
Red john doesn't belong to anyone.
He belongs to me.
It's not my call. Rules are rules.
Come back next week.
Don't let this man past.
Boss?
We have gregory tannen--
caucasian, male, 43, single.
We haven't opened him
up yet, but burn marks...
Sorry i went over your head.
I'll redeem myself, i promise.
You want redemption? Be silent.
Okay. I can learn to do that.
Sorry.
The burn marks here indicate that the
victim was subdued with a stun gun--
Standard civilian
model by the look of it.
Death appears to be caused by several
blows to the back of the skull consistent
With a bloodied golf
club found at the scene.
Female is alison randolph--
27, married, no children.
They were found at her listed residence.
T.o.d.looks to be
early saturday evening.
On alison, we have the
same stun gun marks,
Followed by binding with
tight black plastic ligatures,
Frenzied cutting and stabbing assault of the
torso and subsequent abuse of the viscera.
Textbook red john.
Who found the bodies?
This one's husband, coming home from the
airport sunday morning with his brother.
- he's a pro golfer.
- oh, yeah?
Price randolph.
What's her deal with him? Do we know?
Uh, he's on file as
one of her physicians.
- making a house call?
- lovers?
No, this one's gay.
Dr. Wagner might know what
their relationship was.
He's here to make the formal i.d.?
Okay.
Dr. Wagner.
I'm agent teresa lisbon,
california bureau of investigation.
What's your connection to the victims?
I work with gregory...
Dr. Tannen and--and the randolph family
are longtime clients of our practice.
Are house calls the
norm at your practice?
No. Gregory and alison
were close friends.
- lovers?
- no.
He was gay.
No, they were just... Friends.
What in god's name happened to them?
Looks like red john.
Who's red john?
We don't know who did this.
We'll be in touch probably. Thank you.
Set up right here?
Yeah, that's good.
Red john enters here.
Excuse me. Sorry.
He comes around here.
He waits for her, expecting
her to come in alone.
Only thing, her friend tannen chose the wrong night
to come over for a richard gere and ice cream orgy.
So red john zaps 'em both with
his trusty stun gun, and...
Excuse me.
Grabs a 5-iron from
the bag here and... Bam!
Crushes tannen's skull.
Then he takes his sweet time
dealing with alison how he likes.
She's a nice big girl, so
unless he's pretty strong,
I'm guessing that he grabbed
her by the arms and...
{\a6}Today is the.......
He says he's sorry for all the pain
he's caused you and your mother.
{\a6}5 Years Earlier
Deeply sorry.
He asks you to forgive him.
Can you do that, jenny?
He needs to hear it.
I forgive you, daddy.
- oh, yes.
- daddy, i forgive you.
He's smiling now.
They're tears of joy.
He says, "god bless you and keep you."
He's gone.
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
She's... Amazed.
Patrick...
- one second.
- give him some time.
Ab-absolu-- come
on back to us.
- i'm back. Thank you.
- back.
So, patrick, i understand that you're
also sort of a paranormal detective.
Is that right?
I try to help the police when i can.
And--and you're helping them
hunt this scary serial killer.
- what--what's his name?Red
john? - red--red john.
Thar she blows-- classic
red john smiley face.
Drawn in the victims' blood, clockwise
with three fingers of his right hand,
Wearing a rubber kitchen glove.
I'm stoked to finally
see one in the flesh.
This isn't red john.
Right.
Red john thinks of himself
as a showman, an artist.
He has a strong sense of theater.
In all the previous killings,
He made sure that the first thing that
anyone sees is the face on the wall.
You see the face
first, and you know--
You know what's happened,
and you feel dread.
Then and only then do you
see the body of the victim--
Always in that order.
Here it's the opposite.
The first thing you see is the body, and you
have to look around to see the face on the wall.
Doesn't play nearly as well, does it?
Depends on your taste, i suppose.
No, come on. The killer could have
painted on the correct wall here,
But he didn't because he didn't know
better because he isn't red john.
It's interesting.
You know what your
problem is, my friend?
You enjoy your work a little too much.
You're a ghoul.
If you don't get horny reading
"fangoria," i'm britney spears.
I-i resent that.
This is you trying to
redeem yourself, is it?
I'm sorry.
He irks me.
He's irksome.
You don't need me here.
So, yeah, this one
doesn't fit the pattern.
So jane was right. We have a copycat.
Or we have red john trying new things,
or we have red john making a mistake.
We don't know.
We'll work the evidence
until we do know.
Go talk to the husband.
Will do, boss.
What are you waitin' for?
So you might be right about this
case. Might be. Thanks for the insight.
No. Did i say that?
I'm acknowledging the fact that
you might be right, that's all.
I mean, if you wanted to come
back, i couldn't stop you.
Yeah, fine. I'm asking you to come back.
Because.
Because you're useful to the team.
No. No, i won't say
"please." Go screw yourself.
Jackass.
- good morning.
- can i help you?
You must be van pelt.
Pleasure. Patrick jane.
Oh, hi. Good to meet you.
Agent cho said you had left town.
No. Nowhere to go.
Okay.
Do you want that desk
over there or this one?
I mean, that one gets more light.
That one. More light by all means.
Very pleasant addition to
the serious crimes family.
When did you get here?
Stop. I give up.
- stop. Please, stop.
- hey, tag?
Turn off the camera.
- come on, come on, come on, that's enough.
- okay, we're done, we're done.
- you are just awful!
- okay. Go, go, go.
Stop, please. Stop!
I lost a beautiful, precious angel.
Yes, sir. Good-looking woman.
I'm jumping right in if
you don't mind, price.
You missed the tournament
cut on friday, yes?
But you didn't come home until sunday.
What did you do with the
rest of your time in fresno?
I get this.you--you guys
can't catch the real killer,
So you wanna lay this one on me?
No, sir. If we have that
confirmation of where you were,
It lets us exclude you
from the investigation.
I was with a massage therapist.
Name?
It had "lady" in there somewhere.
It'll be on his credit card bill.
There you go.
Pleasure meeting you boys.
We're a full-service private practice.
We deliver primary care,
uh, cosmetic surgery,
Psychotherapy, sports
medicine-- You name it.
What's the african connection?
It's what this place is all about.
Half our profits go to build and staff basic
health clinics in poor african communities.
Ah, here we are.
It's a thin file.
Alison was a healthy young woman.
Psychiatric history?
She didn't have one.
S.t.d.s? Abortions?
Unexplained injuries?
{\a6}PERSONALITY AND DEMANGE
No.
Except for some routine checkups with me,
it's all dr. Tannen-- All aesthetic work.
Did tannen keep a diary?
Our last case was solved
because the victim kept a diary.
Diary? I don't think so.
Getting back to alison randolph...
How was her marriage, do you think?
Happy? Unhappy?
About six months ago, dr.
Tannen asked my advice.
Alison had asked him to get her a year's
supply of birth control pills off the books,
I said sure, do it.
I mean, better us than
some tijuana drugstore.
Why the secrecy?
Price randolph had a
vasectomy, april of '02.
If there's anything else i can do...
I appreciate that.
Actually, there is.
I'm out of sleeping pills.
Can you fix me up?
Anything strong will do.
Sure. Uh, come in for a consultation.
We'll squeeze you in this afternoon.
Oh, no. I-i was hoping
to get something now.
Trying to avoid the chitchat.
I'm sorry.
I wouldn't feel comfortable prescribing
without some sort of "chitchat."
I understand. Uh, no problem.
I'll call you... Maybe.
I like the husband for it.
He hires some hooker he knows
to create an alibi, flies home,
Fillets the spouse, flies back again.
The classic elaborate and clever
but ultimately stupid plan.
Have you looked at his
pga tournament record?
It's not bad. 6 mil career earnings.
Mm-hmm, for coming in second and third.
You put him on the 18th tee
with a big one on the line,
Like night follows day, he'll shank it.
He's a choker.
He doesn't have the nerve to
kill his wife. Didn't do it.
Are you suggesting we drop a prime
suspect because he's never won a major?
Oh, no, no, no. I'm just
making idle conversation.
How'd you do that?
Telekinesis.
He blew on it.
That is another way to do it.
Mr. Jane, i have a question
regarding your previous career path.
Fire away.
When you met with other
psychics-- real psychics--
Could they tell you
were just pretending?
There's no such thing as real psychics.
I beg to differ.
My cousin yolanda is a psychic.
Your cousin is deluded
or dishonest, or both.
Steady.
No, no, he's entitled to his opinion.
He's wrong, though.
- she has power.
- thank you.
She can communicate with the other side.
I've seen her do it myself.
She let you speak with
someone that's gone.
Yes.
Someone that you love
and still miss very much.
Yes.
You wanted her power
to be real, so it was.
No.
You're so sure you're right.
Science don't know everything.
500 years ago, radio
would've seemed like magic.
Exactly.
500 years in the future, it could be totally
normal to communicate with the other side.
The "other side."
Your father's a football coach, yeah?
How'd you know that?
It's obvious from your whole demeanor.
My point is, didn't dad always
say life is like football?
When that final whistle
blows, the game is over. Done.
There is no more. There
is no "other side."
This is it-- lobster and bread
rolls and nautical kitsch.
And then... Nothingness.
You poor, sad man.
The kingdom of god is a real place.
Okay, later tonight, when rigsby asks
you to come back to his hotel room...
Say yes.
Excuse me?
I know. You were planning
on refusing him very curtly.
First week on the job,
you wanna set a tone.
No monkey business. But why not?
Rigsby is an excellent lover, i'm sure.
Tough but fair. Right?
Right.
The kingdom of god is a real place,
mr. Jane, and you have an immortal soul.
Oh, i do so hope you're wrong.
Good night.
- good night.
- later, dude.
This is... Me.
Welcome to the unit, agent van pelt.
Thank you, agent rigsby.
She explodes into action,
reaching up to 60 miles per hour.
She easily outruns her terrifying prey.
Gs, old friend.
It's been a while.
"i hope you are keeping well.
I am thriving and happy.
I HAVE 12 WIVES NOW AND WILL
SOON BEGIN COURTING NUMBER 13."
"why can't you catch me?"
YOU MUST FEEL SO POWERLESS
AND STUPID AND SAD."
"oh, well.ALL THE BEST. Red john."
That sounds like the real deal to me.
Sounds like red john. It's not.
Red john wouldn't risk
capture just to taunt me.
So the real killer's
trying to throw us offtrack?
Cho, find out where price
randolph was a half an hour ago.
Rigsby, i want you to check
the hotel security cameras.
Get those over to forensics.
You okay?
Absolutely.
Get some sleep.
- hello?
- good morning.
You didn't sleep, did you?
I-i'd like to make an appointment
with dr. Wagner, please. It's urgent.
Jane. Patrick jane. Yeah, i'll hold.
Forensics maybe got a break.
The blood on the cloth in the
envelope is alison randolph's.
But they found a hair in there--
doesn't belong to her or tannen.
Guess who it does belong to.
It's yours, tag. Amazing, huh?
Science.
This is insane.
I didn't... I didn't kill alison.
How do you explain your
hair in the envelope?
Either it was a mistake,
or--or i'm being framed.
Who would want to frame you?
We don't want to, if
that's what you're thinking.
He and alison were lovers.
Who would want to frame you, tag?
My brother.
Why would he want to do that?
Alison and i were lovers.
I think you are psychic.
You're just afraid to admit it.
So...
So...
Why is it you can't sleep?
Because i can't get the good
pills without talking to a doctor.
And you don't like talking to doctors.
Meh, you know, they always wanna be the
smartest person in the room, don't they?
When in fact that's me, obviously.
You protect your core
self very fiercely.
What do you think is
the reason for that?
You know, this is exactly
how i imagined it would be.
You gonna ask me about my mother?
Do you want me to ask
you about your mother?
I just wanna sleep.
So what is it that keeps you awake?
What's his name? Red john?
That's right. Red john.
Uh, he's--he's killed at least
eight women that we know of.
Uh, the police asked me to try
and get a psychic fix on him,
To see if i could get a
sense of who this man is.
Uh, how do you do that exactly,
get a psychic fix on someone?
Well, davis, true demonic
evil burns like fire.
It--it burns with a
terrible cold, dark flame.
I force myself to look into that flame,
and i see an image of the evildoer--
In this case, red john.
He's an ugly, tormented little man.
A lonely soul.
Sad, very sad.
"dear mr. Jane, i do not like
to be slandered in the media,
Especially by a dirty
money-grubbing fraud."
"IF YOU ARE A REAL PSYCHIC INSTEAD
OF A DISHONEST LITTLE WORM,"
"YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO OPEN THE DOOR TO SEE
WHAT I'VE DONE TO YOUR LOVELY WIFE AND CHILD."
Mr. Jane? Mr. Jane?
What is it that keeps you awake?
You know, when i was
a boy, we had a farm.
It's a lot of work.
- i was kind of a lazy kid.
- yes?
I'd always be trying to get my little
brother jimmy to do my chores for me.
One day, i promised him a
dollar if he'd cut the firewood.
Well...
He opened up an artery in his leg
on the saw, and he bled to death...
Died...
Doing my chores for me.
You know...
That's almost exactly the same
thing that happened to johnny cash.
Is it really?
That's spooky.
- mr. Randolph,
good-- - cut the crap.
My brother's done nothing.
And you scumbags haven't got the stones to
come after me, so you come after my family.
- that is flat-out persecution.
- price, what did we agree?
Mr. Randolph, rest assured,
there's no intent to persecute you.
We scumbags are holding your brother
Because we have physical evidence linking
him to the crime and potential motive in that
He states that whenever you weren't around,
he was banging your wife like a big bass drum.
Tag and alison?
That's what he states, And he further
states that it was you that killed alison,
- and you're now trying to frame him in revenge.
- what'd you say?
Wh--bastard!
You--
- son of a bitch!
- you treated her like trash!
What did you expect?
I didn't expect my little
brother to be banging my wife!
You little punk bastard!
Everything you've told me
is total fiction, isn't it?
Yes.
Why?
I can tell you're in real pain.
Why not tell the truth?
The truth is mine.
- i hear ya.
- thank you.
Yes.
Remember, uh, we were talking
about tannen the other day,
And i asked you if he kept
a diary, and you said he did?
- well, there's no diary among his effects.
- no.
I'm sorry, no?
No. You have it wrong. I-i
didn't think he kept a diary.
Strange.
Then it must have been
someone else who told me.
Either that or i'm going mad.
But i definitely, 100% remember
hearing that tannen kept a diary.
Well, that is strange, but why
does it matter if he kept a diary?
You're right. It doesn't matter.
Only i was thinking, why do magicians
have beautiful girl assistants?
Why?
Because they're reliable
distracters of attention.
People will look at a
beautiful girl for a long time
Before they look where they should be looking
if they wanna see how the trick really works.
Anyhow, i'll send over a couple of forensics guys
tomorrow to search his office and locate that diary.
Mm, didn't they already
search his office?
Oh, they never do it
thoroughly the first time.
Once more for luck, eh? It's
gotta be there somewhere.
Thanks for everything, doc.
- good night.
- good night.
Lost something?
How did you get in?
Door was open.
I think i left my phone in your office.
The door wasn't open.
Must have been. Here i am.
What are you doing?
I confess, the temptation to play
detective was a little too strong. I...
I was looking for that diary.
I got a little carried away.
No kidding.
No diary?
No diary.
Maybe i should have a gander.
I'm good at finding things.
Be my guest.
Eureka.
Dr. Wagner, thanks for your help.
Mr. Jane.
Uh, your phone.
Right.
Thanks.
Uh, yeah. Got it.
Silly of me.
- well, good-bye
again. - wait.
Give me the diary.
It's very amusing.
I try.
I knew.
I knew it might be a trick, but i...
I had to be sure.
Yes. That's how the trick works.
What led you to me?
Not that i'm saying i
did it. I'm just asking.
When we first met, you said you
didn't know who red john was,
But you have books on
criminal psychiatry--there--
That have chapters on him.
You're the randolph family doctor, so you
could easily get a strand of tag's hair,
And, being a doctor, you could hack
up another human without difficulty.
It's obvious it was you.
That's it?
You have nothing.
That's just guesswork.
Oh, i know.
I just wanted to be sure
i had the right answer.
I was surprised. I gotta be honest.
You don't seem to be a wicked man.
But you are.
You're angry about the letter.
Yeah, it was a bit mean-spirited.
For the record, i'm
sorry about your family.
I can only imagine your pain.
I'm not... A wicked man.
My conscience is clear.
Really?
Right now in africa, there's 3,000
beautiful children alive today
Who should be dead, but
they aren't because of me.
Tannen was gonna ruin me
and destroy all that work...
Over nothing. Money.
Theft, he called it.
Embezzlement.
Self-righteous idiot.
It's simple math.
If i go to jail,
thousands of kids will die.
So i made a rational, moral
decision to kill tannen...
For the greater good.
And alison? What did she do wrong?
As you said, she was the magician's
assistant, just a distraction.
If only tannen died, the police would've
been all over this place, wouldn't they?
Truly, is killing two any worse than
killing one, when so many lives are at stake?
I don't think so.
You poor, sad man. You're under arrest.
- let's go.
- i'm pointing a gun at you.
You really think i would set you up so
nicely and let you pull a loaded gun on me?
I took the bullets out earlier.
- you're late!
- what?
Draw your weapon!
Drop the gun!
Hands on your head.
Get down on your knees. Down.
Closed case doughnuts are here.
I just went to get sleeping
pills, i swear to god.
I-i didn't even wanna go.
- you know i didn't want to go.
- right.
Yeah, you didn't set wagner up...
Didn't figure it was him days ago.
You didn't let us tear apart the victim's family
simply to satisfy your childish need for drama.
Meh, that family was screwed anyway.
Don't blame yourselves, guys.
Don't even start.
I'm still angry.
- i'm sorry.
- no, you're not.
A frog? Well, this makes
everything better, doesn't it?
